Aloha Superfood Chocolate: A Review

Superfood. Chocolate. Gah. What’s not to love?! When I saw this ad in my newsfeed, I knew I had to try it out.

A little background: Aloha is a company with a gorgeous website and some really interesting products. They sell vitamins/nutrients in pill form, powdered greens (in single serve packets – convenient!), superfood chocolate, and sometimes protein powder, though I don’t see it listed on the site right now. All vegan, organic, gluten-free, soy-free, and non-GMO.

I’ve been seeing tons of ads for their powdered greens in my Facebook newsfeed, but then one day I saw an ad for their superfood chocolate. Gah. It was a promotion for a free bar, I just had to pay $2something in shipping.

I ordered without doing any research, because that’s what I do. But after I did my research, I was pretty pleased! I mean, look at these ingredients.

Hard to beat! More details here if you’re interested. Aloha also claims their chocolate has 10x more antioxidants than goji berries. I don’t eat my chocolate for antioxidants but whatever. I’ll take what I can get.

Shipping was fast, and the package actually arrived before I even got a shipment notification. But this tiny bar comes in a huge box. Seems a little wasteful to me.

The taste? To me, it’s fruity and mildly chocolatey. It tastes more like milk chocolate than I was expecting, and the taste of the raw cacao nibs really shines through. If you’ve ever had them, you know what I mean by “fruity.” The bar tastes fresh and bright. It may not satisfy your biggest chocolate cravings, but it will definitely kill a sweet tooth.

John tried a bite and said, “That is the worst thing I’ve ever tasted,” but don’t listen to him. He has terrible tastes and calls himself a chocolate lover but only eats Hershey’s. Expand your horizons a little! Jeeze.

It doesn’t melt in your mouth like regular chocolate, but you will not be getting any Mockolate flashbacks. This will not be you:

(We work Friends gifs in wherever we can around here.)

My verdict: It’s good! It’s $9 a bar, so I won’t be buying it again, unfortunately. I eat way too much chocolate to spend that much on 2.2 ounces of chocolate. If I could pick this up for $3 at Whole Foods, I’d definitely repurchase.

However, if you’d like to try it and don’t want to shell out the $$$, check out Aloha’s free trial program. But it’s a subscription program, so make sure you cancel if you don’t want to get charged after the first 14 days.

Have you tried any of Aloha’s products? xo Sara

Friends gifs always appreciated! I have not heard of Aloha (although I presume after typing this it may begin appearing in my Facebook feed now). Will check it out as your description of its frutiness sounds like a welcomed contrast to the more bitter chocolate I have been noshing on this winter!

I love their chocolate! I do agree, however- $9 a bar I dont know if I will continue purchasing. Really liked their protein powder too but unfortunately they just did a recall after a handful of people got sick after using and they found a strain of bacteria in there. Its pulled off the website until they get to the bottom of it.

Yikes! I had no idea! I had asked via their live chat on the site if they had sample sizes of the protein powder to purchase and they said they would soon, so maybe it’ll be back soon. Oh well, recalls happen to everyone! But yes, agree on the $9 being way too expensive. It is delish, though!

Aloha is a fantastic company, and I highly recommend them. Their superfood shakes taste amazing and are very well priced relative to Blueprint and the like. The protein recall was done for safetys sake, and I credit them for being proactive. Will def repurchase the protein once it’s back in stock.

Just received the free trial of the smoothie kit. it comes with 3 daily good greens packets and 2 packets of protein powder. every review I have seen so far says that they taste amazing. I will let you know asap if I like it!
